Kimberley has been running Hollywood Shorts for 18 years. Hollywood Shorts is a festival series that has given many young film makers a chance to have their works viewed and supported. But not only does she run this festival series but she has screened and supported programming for nearly every major festival in America.

On this week's show, we air the first half of our interview with Mark Weingartner, Visual Effects Director of Photography, who came down to the studio and took the time to explain some of the most complex visual effects sequences and talk about his experiences that led him to be one of the leading Visual Effects Supervisors in Hollywood. We talk about how to make "grist for the digital mill" and the distinction between visual effects and practical effects and we discovered that sometimes, talking about guilty movie pleasures can be more fun than talking about the big shows as we loop back around three times to Under Siege!

“How do we make Better Movie Babies?”.
This Thursday!
A comprehensive episode on the world of the Film Market. In this episode, we dissect how it takes two entities to raise a happy little movie baby, the production company, and the distribution or sales agency. I had a great time working on this episode and could not have done it without the assistance of Zoe Lane (Producer) and the Tyler Nisbit (Editorial) .

Dean Cundey: "I was intrigued by the fact that in filmmaking you could create this magical world that didn't exist. You can take an audience on a journey that's impossible." #cinema #dp #jurrasicpark #camera #hollywood #backtothefuture #cameraman #lighting #film #movie

"I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in someway to the culture I was living in."
Rip to a beautiful artist.
